***I don't own anything of Sweeney Todd the Demon Barber of Fleet Street***

15+

Sweeney's barber shop was surrounded by silence except of rain dripping on roofs and windows. Todd starred out the biggest window, listening to quiet sounds of drops. On his face was the carved depressed expression, his deep eyes barely blinking. His pale hands were so cold even though he wore fingerless gloves. Barber imagined Lucy's gentle and warm hand touching it; holding it tightly and stroking with her thumb over it. Hug that would warm up his cold body, making his heart race. Todd missed her more than 16 years. Warmth of woman body, touches, kisses. In this moment barber needed alcohol the most to forget and clear his mind, making the pain in his heart pass. He turned around and walked out the shop, slowly walking down the stairs before entering Mrs. Lovett's pie shop. Nobody except her was there. She eyed the barber as he entered the shoppe, tilting her head a bit as barber immiedataly fetched bottle of gin.

"Hard day, " Sweeney sighed in completely depressed tone.

Lovett nodded and sighed quietly as well, "Did something happen dear?"

"No, " Barber frowned a tad and sat down, pouring gin in glass.

Nellie, later then was cleaning a table by which, barber sat. The two were in the pie shop alone now.

Todd starred at the table without some facial expression whilst drinking gin. Now almost 8th glass. His view began to be blurry, his mind slowly forgetting about all the pain of the world.

"Love, go in your bed now, " Lovett looked at him worriedly, speaking softly and cautiously choosing her words.

Barber frowned and looked at the woman near him, "Why? " he mumbled the question.

"You must feel dizzy, " Nellie sighed and sat next to him as he barely sat correctly, supporting him a bit.

Sweeney slid on on the seat a bit down, baker quickly wrapping arm around his slim waist, "Come... We will get you in bed, " Nellie wrapped his arm around her neck, slowly standing up and walking to door with him by her side. Todd just gazed at the floor and staggered next to her. Lovett didn't understand why he drunk himself that hard. He drank always just a bit for calming himself down but he kept his mind thinking clearly.

Baker held him close to her while they walked. Todd leaned his head against her shoulder, completely drunk. His gaze fell in her neckline. He soon started to stare at her pale breasts, Nellie not noticing at all.

When they arrived in Sweeney's bedroom, she placed his on his bed and made him lie down. Todd closed his eyes and creased his brows, feeling a bit sick.

Lovett took off his shoes before started to unbutton his vest.

Barber opened his eyes and looked up into her chocolate brown eyes, "W- what are you.. "

Nellie removed his vest afterwards, "It would crumple, Mr. T. " she pulled blanket over him and watched him.

Sweeney closed eyes then again and snuggled in his bed while baker stood up straight again, "Get some rest. " she left the room, closing door quietly.

Todd kept his eyes closed, thinking, like always before he fell asleep. His body made him feel Nellie's touches over and over.

Baker meanwhile returned her pie shop, finding Toby by table where Sweeney sat with glass of gin in his hand, "Toby?" she frowned and came closer.

Boy quickly placed the glass down, away from his mouth, "O- oh, mom, i just... It was there already. "

"I know, love but that doesn't mean it's for you. "

"I'm sorry, mom, " Toby lowered his gaze.

Lovett nodded and sighed, "It's alright. Get ready for bed... It's late. "

Boy nodded and drank last sip from his glass before rushed to his bed.

Nellie put the glasses and bottle aside, closing up the shop afterwards. In few minutes, she entered her bedroom. Lovett proceeded to her bed and lied down after changing her clothes. She also thought about the barber. He seemed more depressed than usually. She couldn't imagine how empty he actually was. After his revenge, he didn't have even reason to live. That's, at least, what he said. Judge was eaten by flames, just like Beadle was. Baker thought that Sweeney will change after getting his revenge but she thought wrong. He was still the same, just more sad than before. It's horrible to live life without a reason.
